Production and applications of activated carbons as ... Springer
Most of the literature refers to the production of active carbons from coal, bamboo [7,8,9,10] and other lignocellulosic materials [11,12,13,14]. Activated carbon is the most widely used adsorbent because of its low cost, exceptionally high porosity, tuneable pore size and high adsorptive capacities [ 15, 16 ].
